Love's Plea: Longing for Affection in Martina DaSilva's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
Expressing concern about a relationship issue.
You love me no longer, I know and
Acknowledging the loss of affection from the partner.
Maybe there is nothing that I can do
Feeling helpless about the situation.
To make you do
Unable to influence the partner's feelings.
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
Receiving advice from a maternal figure.
That I ought just stick to another man
Suggested to pursue a different relationship.
A man that surely deserves me
Belief that the partner deserves commitment.
But I think you do
Contradicting the advice, believing in the partner's worthiness.
So I cry and I pray and I beg
Expressing desperation through crying, praying, and pleading.
Love me love me
Repeated appeal for love, attention, and acknowledgment.
Say that you love me
-Fool me fool me
-Go on and fool me
-Love me love me
-Pretend that you love me
-Leave me leave me
-Just say that you need me
-So, I cry and I beg for you to
Continuing to plead for affection and validation.
Love me love me
Reiteration of the desire for love and reassurance.
Say that you love me
-Leave me leave me
-Just say that you need me
-I can't care 'bout anything but you
Stating single-minded devotion to the partner.
Lately I have desperately pondered
Reflecting on past attempts to resolve the situation.
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
Contemplating intensely during sleepless nights.
What I could have done in another way
Wishing for an alternate course of action to retain the partner.
To make you stay
Regret over the partner's departure.
Reason will not lead to solution
Losing hope in logical solutions to the relationship problem.
I will end up lost in confusion
Foreseeing confusion and emotional turmoil.
I don't care if you really care
Indifference towards the partner's feelings as long as they stay.
As long as you don't go
-So I cry, I pray, and I beg
Repeated plea for love, pretense, and emotional dependency.
Love me, love me
-Say that you love me
-Fool me, fool me
-Go on and fool me
-Love me, love me
-Pretend that you love me
-Leave me, leave me
-Just say that you need me
-So I cry and I beg for you to
Continued plea for affection and emotional reliance.
Love me, love me
-Say that you love me
-Leave me, leave me
-Just say that you need me
-I can't care 'bout anything but you
